Natural Grief

"Precious in the sight of the Lord 
Is the death of His godly ones."
Psalm 116:15

For the Christian, death is a doorway to eternal life with Christ in Heaven. The Lord rejoices to have His child finally come home. In that knowledge the loved ones left behind on earth can take comfort. But it is still a loss for the survivors, and it is natural and right for them to grieve. Jesus wept at the grave of Lazarus, even though He knew in a few minutes He would raise Lazarus from the dead. If you know another Christian who is mourning the death of someone close to them, go and comfort them in their grief. Help the Lord mend their broken heart with your compassion and love.
